FLOWERING WEEK 9 Last week of flowering for this beauty. Fan leaves are yellowing nicely and many fell off with a slight pull. She's only getting water now. I checked the trichomes and I can see mostly milky and some clear ones. it's hard to find amber trichomes yet, I guess I need to wait til the end of next week. It's really hard to wait and be patient when she looks so ripe. I tryed different mini sample buds and I must say that it's useful to uderstand the different degrees of maturity and the different effects that you get. The earliest I picked gave me a headache, the last one made me want to sleep 4h earlier than when I usually do. This sample bud test also gave me the opportunity to compare dry vs wet trimming and my impression is that wet trimming releases too much clorophyl and the terpenes smell is at least temparary covered by that. Of course it takes longer to dry when fan leaves are on so it's all about compromise, and patience again. I also noticed that if I smoke CBD weed afterwards, the THC effects are heightened, it might just be my immagination but I don't think so. I have to say that this grow is my most succesfull so far, and yield will be probably doubled compared to my previous grow. Of course the new lamp played a major part in that, but I also feel more experienced in terms of training and feeding skills. I can't wait to review this strain properly so stay tuned for harvest!!!😎
